Had you been a member of the upper class during the 1800s, you would have had a calling card. Elaborately ornamented and inked with fine calligraphy, you would have placed it on a silver platter held by the servant of the person you were visiting to let them know you had arrived. The practice of calling cards eventually died, of course, and it’s a wonder the modern-day equivalent has yet to meet the same fate.
